Dr. Russell Sharp explains what glyphosate (Roundup) is, how it works as a systemic non‑selective herbicide, and why it remains widely used in turf care and agriculture.

The episode covers controversies and legal cases, the misuse of LD50 data, environmental persistence, effects on soil micronutrients and microbial communities, and emerging resistance in some weeds.

Practical advice is given on safe application timing and PPE, treating accidental herbicide damage, the company history and product variants, Eutrema's Ivy Pre‑Spray, and future tech possibilities like micro‑spray robo‑weeders.
